We have witnessed another senseless tragedy: the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. Desperate cries for gun control almost immediately surfaced. While the motivation for such pleas cannot be questioned, their timing and impact can be.

Jennifer Irvine loved her friends, San Diego, and her career as a Family Law and Criminal Defense Attorney.

She was among those killed in Sunday's mass shooting in Las Vegas.

Her Facebook page has become a remembrance place for those who knew her and loved her.

Irvine ran a family-law and criminal-defense practice near El Cortez hotel.

She was a graduate from  USD and Cal Western.

How often do you think about your signature? Probably not often. It becomes so routine that it is a matter of muscle memory for most people.

The Times reports:

Although marijuana became legal in the state of Colorado, marijuana trafficking is not legal.

Recently, more than 60 people were charged with illegally growing and distributing more than 4,000 pounds of marijuana within the state of Colorado and across state lines.

The Denver Police Department responded to a complaint that eventually led them to uncover one of the biggest drug busts in Colorado by leading them to unlicensed marijuana growers in warehouses and residences throughout the Denver Metro area. The operation was called “Operation Toker Poker.”

The City of San Diego has a lot to consider when it comes to its energy future.

If Community Choice Aggregation or CCAs is passed by the City Council in January, it would essentially empower those elected officials to purchase energy for the city, not SDG&E.

SDG&E would still maintain their infrastructure, still conduct meter tests and readings, but the government would make those important price point decisions.
